Get involved

Koru Camp is built on partnership. Our work is made possible by the organisations and individuals who choose to invest in creating access to nature for local communities. While our subsidised rates keep camps accessible to other NGOs, they do not cover the full operating cost of a camp. It is only through your help that we can continue our work.
